In a recent appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Rep Dr. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) delved into the contentious topic of President Biden’s mental acuity and the broader implications of health transparency in government. The discussion also veered into the intriguing (and somewhat alarming) potential misuse of the autopen for signing legislation.
Maria Bartiromo, the show’s host, posed a pointed question: “Given your extensive experience as White House physician, why do you think Biden’s medical issues were absent from his records and reports by Dr. O’Connor?”
Jackson responded with a dose of insider insight, explaining that Dr. O’Connor had served as Biden’s physician during his vice presidency, essentially becoming a member of the Biden family. “I witnessed it firsthand. He would comply with whatever requests were made of him, even if it meant concealing significant health issues,” Jackson asserted.
He elaborated, indicating that after Biden’s tenure as vice president, Dr. O’Connor continued to provide care, reinforcing the notion that his loyalty might extend beyond mere medical duty. “When Biden ascended to the presidency, they brought back Dr. O’Connor knowing he would help keep any medical complications under wraps,” Jackson posited.
In an intriguing historical parallel, Jackson referenced the 1919 presidency of Woodrow Wilson, where the First Lady and his physician actively worked to keep Wilson’s serious health problems—specifically a stroke—hidden from the public eye. “The actions of Wilson’s physician and his wife effectively kept him isolated from the public and the press while they made key decisions that affected the nation,” he remarked.
Jackson then connected this historical narrative to current events, raising serious concerns about the legitimacy of Biden’s presidency given the potential cognitive challenges he faces. The congressman claimed that if the autopen was utilized to sign legislation without Biden’s direct involvement, it could lead to serious legal ramifications.
“The American people deserve clarity on who was making decisions during those crucial years. Who had access to that autopen? Who was truly signing the legislation?” Jackson demanded. “If we discover that someone was effectively running the country while masquerading as the President, that could be a criminal act. We must ensure such a situation never arises again,” he concluded.
